Eastar EVA-3 Violin with learning Point Matte

Eastar EVA-3 violin is an innovative violin set, the innovative use of finger plates inlaid with muscovite can help students find the appropriate position.

There are two important points to note here:

1. The neck of the violin is white without paint, all of the neck of high-grade violins are not colored, otherwise the hands will sweat and slip when playing.

2. When tuning with the peg, press it inward slightly. Try to watch professional violin tuning teaching videos on relevant video websites.

How To Choose Violin Sizes

1. Violins are available in 8 different sizes: 4/4 (also called full size), 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32. Size 4/4 is the biggest and size 1/32 is the smallest.

2.To measure what size violin best suits you. You need to know the length between your neck and the middle of your left-hand palm. The violin size determined by the neck/mid-palm approach would be the biggest size students should use.

Learning Finger Guide

Innovative use of finger plates inlaid with muscovite to help students quickly find the appropriate position to better master the violin playing skills.

Eliminate the energy and expense of buying fingerboard stickers, the board points are very clear, and there will be no reflection under the light.

Set a Bridge

The bridge should be left high and low right, and the bridge should coincide with the midpoint of the vi hole of the violin. When you follow the bridge, you must loosen the violin string. After placing the bridge in place, the string is inserted into the limit of the bridge, and the tuning can be used normally.

Come with Violin Tuner

Multifunctional digital display tuner with twelve even rhythms. The backlight feature tunes in at night as well. Simple and portable:

1. Start the tuner, clip the tuner to the head of the violin and select Function V.
2. The tuner backlight will show green when the tone is accurate.

Note: It is common for the string instuments that the state of new strings are unstable. It takes a few more tunings to stabilize the pitch.

Metal Fine Adjustment Knob

The function of the fine adjustment knob is to help the violinist to make parts for tuning.

1. Loosen the adjustment knobA
2. Adjust the violin neck knob to about 10 cents lower than the standard tone.P
3. Press the top knob to fix the pitchG
4. Gently tighten the knob until the pitch is exactly positionedA
5. Adjust A D first and then adjust G E

Adjust a Chin Rest

You can adjust the tightness of the chin rest with a small screwdriver, or you can change the sapling of jujube or ebony according to your own style.

Rosin can increase the friction of the bow and strings to make the violin sound. Please use rosin before playing.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between Cecilio cvn-200 and mendini
Answer:	Si!.. Se muestra con todos los accesorios. Una pieza 100% original y profesional. Recomiendo el Violín asi como el vendedor 100% 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Estrellas
Question:	Does it come setup
Answer:	If you're unsure of how to place the bridge back on, take it to a music shop and they will assist you, music and arts centers will assist you in the store, I've done plenty of those at no cost when I used to work there. There is a certain direction and placing the bridge must sit to be able to sit properly, please seek a professional for instrument care.
Question:	The tuning pegs do not stay after adjusting, is this normal
Answer:	This product comes with two bridges that are made by the manufacture. No name on the bridges. I bought this product and it is an amazing deal for the quality and tone of the instrument! I suggest buying new strings, the ones that come in this set are cheap and dull sounding! Dominant Strings are suggested by this professional of 20 years!
Question:	does this item come with an extra set of strings
Answer:	hi Kyle D...no, I thought the violin would look like the picture because the wood looks rich and the violin strings looks like it would have a deep sound to it. However, if you haven't bought the violin yet..good.. I would spend a little more money on a good violin that would last you a long time..my mendini is still in the box oh and the strings on the violin are cheap..thank you for asking I hoped I help :) Deanne allen
Question:	Es el primero que se muestra con todos los accesorios o es el naranja de abajo. Precio es profesional
Answer:	Only one . easy to use.
Question:	My daughter was trying to tune her violin (she's twelve and just starting out) and the bridge fell off. Is it difficult to put back on
Answer:	The top button changes the pitch: ie 440 (which is standard pitch) to a faster pitch and turns the tuner off and on. The bottom button changes the instrument to be tuned: violin, viola, cello & base. Hope this helps.
Question:	what bridge does this come with
Answer:	The clip opens to 1 1/4 inch at the widest. Don't know if that's large enough for your bass.
Question:	Does the actual violin that will ship look anything like this
Answer:	It responds as quickly as any tuner meaning you can check long notes, but not short ones. However, the center markers for pitch are white with yellow ones on each side which means there's little contrast to see while you're playing. So I think it would be tough to monitor your pitch while playing.

Violins are available in 8 different sizes: 4/4 (also called full size), 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32. Size 4/4 is the biggest and size 1/32 is the smallest. All adults, regardless of their size, use the size 4/4 violin.

To measure what size violin best suits you, you need to know the length between your neck and the middle of your left-hand palm (when your hand is fully extended and raised perpendicular to your body, just like holding a violin). Most of the teachers prefer students to use the length from the neck to the wrist for measurement instead of the neck to mid-palm approach. The violin size determined by the neck/wrist approach would be the size that is more comfortable for students to hold. The violin size determined by the neck/mid-palm approach would be the biggest size students should use. The following table lists the length of each violin size. Find your length using your preferred approach and use that to determine the size of violin to get.

If you have a teacher, you should ask for your teacher's recommendation. If you don't have a teacher, we would recommend using the neck/wrist approach for students not using full size; for students who are deciding whether to used size 3/4 or size 4/4, use the neck/mid-palm approach. This is because it is always better those students feeling comfortable holding and playing the violin. However, while deciding between size 3/4 and size 4/4, if neck/mid-palm approach allows for size 4/4, then buying a size 4/4 is more economical since you don't have to buy another bigger size violin later. This is completely based on economical consideration. You should still decide what best suits your need.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with the accesories in the picture
Answer:	Everything that is in the picture comes in the case.
Question:	If my daughter is 10, what size should I get
Answer:	I got the 4/4 size however my grandaughter has the 7/8 and she is 10. The violins are so close in size its hard to tell the difference however her bow in lenght is shorter.
Question:	Would this 1/4 fit a small 7 year old
Answer:	5 -7 yrs about 18"arm span 1/47-9yrs about 20"arm span 1/2
Question:	Can this be used as a fiddle
Answer:	The bridge is the difference. A fiddle is a violin with a flatter bridge and a violin with a rounded bridge is played in the classic style and just called violin. Fiddle, as some mentioned is related to folk, country western, zydeco, bluegrass, folksy types of music. This is because the flatter bridge allows one to play chords more easily by making it easier to bow two or more strings at once. Whereas a standard violin with rounded bridge is easier to bow single notes as one would in an orchestral setting.

User questions & answers

Question:	Whats the difference between mv400 and the cvn
Answer:	CVN-300 has better wood quality than MV400. The CVN-300 has a bright and vibrant tone that produces a clear and crisp sound.
Question:	Are the bows prerosined? I want to use one as a practice bow
Answer:	No. They are not prerosined--but it does come with the rosin for you to do yourself.
Question:	Do you ship to the Philippines
Answer:	We are sorry to tell you that we do not ship to Philippines.
Question:	Does this violin come assembled
Answer:	I am a luthier and my wife is a violin teacher. One of her students brought me this exact violin (MV400) to have set up work done. Here is a list of what needed to be done: Refit the bridge feet, thin bridge blank, carve out excess wood from bridge, lower bridge arch for proper string heights, fit pegs and re-drill peg holes, lower and reprofile nut and re-slot string grooves, new tailpiece (cheap tailpiece only lasted 2 weeks before fine tuners seized up), new strings (cheap strings sounded truly awful, and started fraying after 2 weeks), remove excess varnish from neck/ fingerboard joint and smooth, and finally a new soundpost. The fingerboard was adequate, and I left it alone. The instrument itself is not terrible, and the pegs and fingerboard were of reasonable quality, but the tailpiece and string quality and very inadequate setup will have you spending an additional $200-$300 and I haven't even mentioned the awful bow, crummy shoulder rest, and crummy rosin. The instrument sounds reasonably good now after all the work, though at the end of the day, you still have a $100 violin. You really get what you pay for.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you plug it into a amp because the images do not show a jack
Answer:	Yes. There are 3 sockets on the back of violin. One is "Line out" (for amp). One is "Mic" and one is "Phones". The Included cord for the amp is a little over 9 feet and is decent quality. There is no static backround noise and my violin comes in clear. *In the stock photo the amp cable is to the right of the headphones.
Question:	How can I plug it to my laptop? There is a chord but it doesn't fit the computer outlet
Answer:	It has a quarter inch plug, look for either an A to D connector, or (more easily a rocksmith cable) a USB interface. Electric instruments are almost all the same you'll never have the same sound as an acoustic. But it will give you a unique and interesting sound. Especially at this price point.
Question:	how quiet is it? I would be practicing during my toddlers nap time and need it to be very very quiet/silent with out an amp or head phones
Answer:	I get about 81 dB playing open strings. It’s not so quiet.
Question:	Does the kit come with strings attached or must you string them yourself
Answer:	The strings come attached. In fact, as soon as my violin came in, I took it to my local music store (who strung my acoustic violin) to have him check it out to see if the violin and strings are of good quality. He thought is was decent quality. I couldn't be happier with it, especially for the price. When you first get it, you will have to re-tune the strings every 10 minutes or so while you are playing, but after about a week of re-tuning (and it does need tuning less frequently with time) you are good to go. It doesn't hold a tune as well as my acoustic...I tune it before I begin playing usually, but it does hold well and the sound is fantastic. You can play it through an amp or into headphones and I think the sound quality is awesome. Hope this helps. :)

User questions & answers

Question:	What's the difference between this and giuliani
Answer:	Not sure, I bought it for my 2010 expedition 4.6. Most part are the same between the two models.
Question:	Does this come with perfection pegs
Answer:	I believe so. I don't think it's model-specific. According to Dorman's (mfr) website (http://www.dormanproducts.com/p-73939-911-281.aspx?year=2007&make=Ford&model=Fusion&origin=&parttype=Vapor%2520Canister%2520Purge%2520Valve&enginebase=V6%2520183%25203.0L), it should.
Question:	What is the country of origin
Answer:	I have a 2010 Focus and it fits perfectly. I believe as long as you have the US made 2009 Ford focus, it should fit. I purchase this purge valve to fix my gas gauge not reading correctly issue. If you have the same issue I think this valve will fix the problem.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference in sizes between 1/4 1/2 and 4/4 Am thinking of getting one, just not sure about the size
Answer:	No. There are tutorials online, or booklets and tutorials you can buy through Amazon in order to learn how to play the instrument. This is only the instrument, and extra accessories.
Question:	Hello, I am a Double Bass player in my school orchestra. I am new to the violin, and wanted to know if the bridge/strings will be placed already? Thx
Answer:	No case, with one extra string
Question:	What size is for children
Answer:	It is not ready to play when it just got out the box. You have to do the followings in order: 1) slide the damper under the two strings at the bottom of the python skin (I remove this damper afterward and the instrument still sounds fine, will double check with other erhu players). 2) put the "bridge" in the center of the python skin, under the two strings, make sure the strings sit in their notch on the bridge 3) tune up the strings to D (the left one) and A (the right one) (assume you are looking at the python skin) 4) add tension to the bow to the horse hair it taut, then apply the rosin on both side, this takes a while as it is a new bow 5) release the tension, take out the horse hair at one end (where you would hold the bow), slide the hair between the two strings. There are two ways to insert the hair, and ONE is WRONG !!! If you hold the erhu in playing position, the hair should be inserted such that the tip of the bow pointed backward to your left side and the "hand holding" end point forward to the right. Then turn the screw to increase the hair tension. Now, it's really ready to play.
Question:	Is this a real violin for a twelve year old starting to play or is it a toy
Answer:	Amazon gives us 21 to 45 days. As reported by our customers, based on our feedback and ratings, it takes 15 to 30days or thereabouts.

Mendini MV300 Violin

The Mendini MV300 violin has an impressive quality for the price, and is a remarkably affordable option for students who have never played the violin before and want to try it out for the first time. The MV300 produces a warm and clear sound that is simple and easy to work with, and comes with an outfit that provides students with everything they will need to get started. Both of our Mendini MV200 and Mendini MV300 violins have the same specifications and quality, but they differ in the type of finish used and the character of sound each one produces. The MV300 has a mellow and warm tone with a soft satin varnish finish to match, and the MV200 has a bright and vibrant tone and finish.

How to choose violin sizes

Violins are available in 8 different sizes: 4/4 (also called full size), 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32. Size 4/4 is the biggest and size 1/32 is the smallest. All adults, regardless of their size, use the size 4/4 violin.

To measure what size violin best suits you, you need to know the length between your neck and the middle of your left-hand palm (when your hand is fully extended and raised perpendicular to your body, just like holding a violin). Most of the teachers prefer students to use the length from the neck to the wrist for measurement instead of the neck to mid-palm approach. The violin size determined by the neck/wrist approach would be the size that is more comfortable for students to hold. The violin size determined by the neck/mid-palm approach would be the biggest size students should use. The following table lists the length of each violin size. Find your length using your preferred approach and use that to determine the size of violin to get.

If you have a teacher, you should ask for your teacher's recommendation. If you don't have a teacher, we would recommend using the neck/wrist approach for students not using full size; for students who are deciding whether to used size 3/4 or size 4/4, use the neck/mid-palm approach. This is because it is always better those students feeling comfortable holding and playing the violin. However, while deciding between size 3/4 and size 4/4, if neck/mid-palm approach allows for size 4/4, then buying a size 4/4 is more economical since you don't have to buy another bigger size violin later. This is completely based on economical consideration. You should still decide what best suits your need.
